Single polymeric bubble for the preparation of multiple microano fibers

摘要

Bubble-electrospinning is suggested to produce microano fibers. Contrary to classical electrospinning where a high voltage is applied to overcome the surface tension of the Taylor's cone, in bubble-electrospinning, the voltage is applied to overcome the bubble's surface tension, which mainly depends upon the size of the bubble. Instead of single jet, millions of charged jets are observed simultaneously. In this article, we design a single bubble-electrospinning to primarily study the effect of concentration on the spinning procedure. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is used in the experiment.
